Thanks for your purchase, and greatly appreciate the feedback!

We’ve always tried to be very detailed an in-depth with our video instruction to eliminate the need to wait for support. It’s difficult to create templates that perfectly suit the needs of all users, or anticipate how our templates will be used across a wide range of experience levels, so we try to err on the side of too much information, rather than not enough.

Other than sifting through the extensive tutorial, we hope you found the template useful!

Hello!

Thanks a lot for your purchase. The project is set up to display media in either a rectangular (wide) or square proportion. If you’d like to make the placeholders appear vertically, that can be accomplished with just a few steps:

1. In the “media scene” comps, insert your media rotated at a -90° angle. The image should appear sideways like in this screenshot: http://envato.d.pr/sXbB/5SvIbXLd


2. In the main “scene” comps, change the Z-axis keyframes on the Camera layer to something between 85°-100°, which will rotate the entire scene to make the frames appear like vertical rectangles, mimicking magazine page layouts: http://envato.d.pr/KHH/4yEVH5VHM

That’s it!

Hopefully that helps, but if you have any further questions, please contact me directly.

Hi TX,

Thanks for your purchase, I’m glad you like the template!

It appears that you’ve discovered a limitation of this project that I had not previously foreseen. The project was constructed mostly for use of video, rather than still photos.

But I can understand the desire to be able to see parts of the previous image underneath the newly revealed layer. In the near future I may go back and create an image-friendly version of this project.

Technically, this can be accomplished with a little bit of work, but it will take some explaining. Please contact me directly at tyson [at] motionrevolver.com, and I’ll be happy to walk you through the process.

Thanks again,

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your purchase! The appearance of a new photo every 5 frames is intentional, and it’s what creates the smooth slideshow feel. So that you’re aware, since the playback rate of the video is directly tied to the appearance of the frames, slowing the rate down to 15-20 frames will make the video play back in more of a stop-motion way.

It would require a bit of work, but it could be accomplished by following these steps:

1. Open each Scene composition in the “Step 05: Edit Scenes” folder 2. Deactivate the “Hide Shy Layers” button to reveal the hidden frame layers 3. Adjust the in-point of each layer to have a 15-20 frame delay between them

As I mentioned, this will be a little tedious, but it is possible to accomplish what you’re trying to do.

Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me directly at tyson [at] motionrevolver.com

Good luck!
